Question 1944 Deck Safety

70% to pass

A vessel's "quarter" is that section which is _______________.

A abeam
B on either side of the stern
C just aft of the bow
D dead astern
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) on either side of the stern. The "quarter" of a vessel refers to the port and starboard sections of the vessel that are just forward of the stern. This is the area on either side of the stern, which is why B is the correct answer. The other options are incorrect because: A) abeam refers to the sides of the vessel amidships, not near the stern; C) just aft of the bow is the fore part of the vessel, not the quarter; and D) dead astern refers to directly behind the vessel, not the quarter sections.
